A great and wretched city : promise and failure in Machiavelli's Florentine political thought
Dispelling the myth that Florentine politics offered only negative lessons, Mark Jurdjevic shows that significant aspects of Machiavelli's political thought were inspired by his native city.

Virtue, Fortune, and Blame in Machiavelli's Life and The Prince
This article considers the relationship between Machiavelli's The Prince and the circumstances surrounding its composition. Its contextual reading suggests that the view of Machiavelli as a pessimist, a critic of Renaissance humanism, and a compliant counselor to princes merits rethinking. Situated in light of Machiavelli's professional troubles and Florentine politics in 1512–1513, The Prince reveals Machiavelli's stubborn optimism and his polemical denunciation of Italy's rulers.
